coffee shop confessional

2pm marks the gentle buzz of coffee shops and the hum of
humanity untroubled in light conversation with friends and lovers. Light
pattering of rain against the thick glass of the shop’s windows and doors as
small and pleasant reminders to not let your thoughts drift too far. The hiss
of the milk steamer fully brings me back to reality. I hear people around me
laughing at dreary anecdotes, flirting through generic compliments and
responding in awkward disbelief. The couple to my left, knees entwined are talking
in a hushed tone about how much they love each other over the slowly rising
steam of their coffees. Hair twirled in slender fingers and cheeks rise in
rouge. I sigh contemptuously; an unconscious decision. The iced Americano sat before my eyes condensates
gently, similarly to the rain outside. The water rolls slowly down the plastic
cup onto the deep mahogany countertop, creating a small pool that is sure to
dampen my sleeve when I’m not paying attention. I push my glasses further up on
the bridge of my nose to readjust my vision, allowing me to focus on the nature
outside from the comfort of being inside. That is, assuming being inside the
coffee shop is more comforting. I gaze down toward my blank notebook.
